preloader flash

[peteyjr]

I have a slideshow with around 50 pics (6MB). The slideshow starts with a
preloader and works with fine with netscape but with the internet explorer
the preloader does not start at all.
What I am doing wrong???

You may want to try a SWF 'n Slide and SWF, Lock & Load to create Flash
slideshows and preloaders.
Both can be downloaded at [url]http://www.verticalmoon.com[/url]

Sounds like your HTML is stuffed .. you probably have different settings in
your <object> and <embed> tags (maybe a different swf file)

Show us your page.

Try putting it in a web page, instead of playing it directly. I think IE
will try to download the SWF and then play it, as opposed to when its in
HTML and is downloaded and played by the player control.
